Through my years of experience and knowledge in the medical field, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible transformations that can occur when individuals reclaim their power and embrace their journey.

So often after a traumatic experience, our brain limits our beliefs and capabilities. What I love about incorporating creative expression is it challenges our beliefs of “but, I’m not a creative person” and it provides a way for us to communicate when words are not enough.

If you have found yourself say this, I hear you and I can relate.

As a trauma-focused expressive arts therapist and an expressive arts practitioner myself, I still find myself challenging my limiting beliefs. The beauty of expressive arts is there is no right or wrong. There is no “too minimal” or “too dramatic”. It is a judgment-free zone.

Together, we will be curious. Curious to explore the resistance and joys. You deserve to be freed from your past traumas. You deserve to find relief.

I will meet you where you are, and together we will chart a path forward that aligns with your values and aspirations. 

As an Asian identifying person, I also recognize the cultural and racial barriers that can play within Western society and how it can impact one’s individual journey.

I want you to envision a future where you are not defined by your trauma, but rather empowered by the resilience and wisdom you have gained from your journey. 

A future where you are thriving, finding joy in the everyday moments, and pursuing the dreams that fuel your soul. It won’t always be easy, but I will be there every step of the way, offering guidance, support, and a listening ear.

Lastly, as a person who has experienced a life-altering medical trauma, I know firsthand the impacts it can create. I believe the journey towards healing is lifelong, one that requires consistent reflection and tweaking. However, the depth of growth to the start of inner healing is one that is immeasurable. I can say that it is truly worth the work, and I find joy in everyday life. 

Fun Facts:

Growing up, I lived in Japan and Hong Kong. Those roots are still deeply engrained into who I am today. Part of my inner healing has been to discover where my body feels most at “home” traveling back and forth.

Keeping my hands busy is a big part of my own balance, one that has required practice, patience, and presence. When I intentionally find the time, I am immersed in all things creative in solitude or with my kids.

I enjoy immersing myself in self-help books, and integrating as much holistic and integrative care in my life as much as possible. 

As a two-time Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) thrivor, I am a volunteer peer mentor to those currently with HG through the HER Foundation.

I serve on the Medical Advisory Board of Onco-Ballet allowing me to combine my love for dance and oncology.
